Akram Malik | 6 years ago | Reply It is a tragedy, that in the 21st century, we in Pakistan, cannot look beyond our immediate family. PTI has set an example and I urge all political parties and look for the talent and not to the family business.

Iftikhar Khan | 6 years ago | Reply Hamza Shahbaz moved ahead of Maryam Nawaz for future political leadership within Sharif's clan. Good luck
